Hyundai Elantra: Closing the fuel filler lid

1. To install the cap, turn it clockwise until it УclicksФ. This indicates that
the cap is securely tightened.

2. Close the fuel filler lid and push it lightly and make sure that it is securely
closed.

WARNING - Refueling

If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can cover your clothes or skin and thus
subject you to the risk of fire and burns. Always remove the fuel cap carefully
and slowly. If the cap is venting fuel or if you hear a hissing sound, wait
until the condition stops before completely removing the cap.

Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off when refueling.

Tighten the cap until it clicks, otherwise the ""
light will illuminate.

Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage
in the event of an accident.

WARNING - Refueling dangers

Automotive fuels are flammable materials. When refueling, please note the following
guidelines carefully. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire or explosion.

Before refueling note the location of the Emergency Gasoline Shut- Off,
if available, at the gas station facility.

Before touching the fuel nozzle, you should eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by touching another metal part of the vehicle,
a safe distance away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other gas source.

Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refueling since you can
generate static electricity by touching, rubbing or sliding against any item
or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.) capable of producing static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can ignite fuel vapors resulting in rapid burning.
If you must reenter the vehicle, you should once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity discharge by touching a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or other gasoline source.

When using an approved portable fuel container be sure to place the container
on the ground prior to refueling. Static electricity discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Once refueling has begun, contact with
the vehicle should be maintained until the filling is complete.

Use only approved portable plastic fuel containers designed to carry and store
gasoline.

Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric current and/or electronic
interference from cellular phones can potentially ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire.

When refueling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced by electrical
components related to the engine can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Once
refueling is complete, check to make sure the filler cap and filler door are
securely closed, before starting the engine.

DO NOT use matches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cigarette
in your vehicle while at a gas station especially during refueling. Automotive
fuel is highly flammable and can, when ignited, result in fire.

If a fire breaks out during refueling, leave the vicinity of the vehicle,
and immediately contact the manager of the gas station and then contact the
local fire department or 911. Follow any safety instructions they provide.

CAUTION

Make sure to refuel with unleaded fuel only.

If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuine Hyundai
cap or the equivalent specified for your vehicle. An incorrect fuel filler cap
can result in a serious malfunction of the fuel system or emission control system.

Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of fuel
spilled on painted surfaces may damage the paint.

If the fuel filler lid will not open in cold weather because the area around
it is frozen, push or lightly tap the lid.

After refueling, make sure the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an accident.
